The Oklahoma City Thunder are acquiring veteran center Daniel Theis from the New Orleans Pelicans, multiple outlets reported Wednesday.
The Pelicans are also sending a 2031 second-round pick to the Thunder, according to the reports.
It’s unclear what the Thunder are sending in return, per the reports, but it doesn’t have to be a player, given that Theis takes the team’s final roster spot.
Theis, 32, provides depth at center while the Thunder await Chet Holmgren to return from his injury. Theis is averaging 4.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 16.3 minutes in 38 games (nine starts) this season, his only one in New Orleans.
He averages 7.1 points and 4.7 rebounds in 411 career games (160 starts) for six teams, most notably the Boston Celtics (2017-21; 2022).
